My Grandma, Joan Atkinson, was born at Linton-on Ouse in 1927. Her father was the lock keeper there for a number of years and the family lived in the house in the photograph. Joan was the eldest of four children, three of whom were born at Linton-on-Ouse including Betty and Ian. The youngest child, June, was born when the family moved to Haxby. Joan's mum, Edna, used to make her own icecream in the kitchen on hot summer days. In the winter the house occassionally used to flood and the family had to escape from the rising waters in a boat which was tied at the back door.
